Amorim Enjoys ‘Special’ First Man Utd Win Despite ‘Anxiety’

wontumionlineSports,
New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim celebrated victory on his Old Trafford debut thanks to a thrilling 3-2 Europa League triumph against Bodo/Glimt - but admitted to a sense of anxiety as his players try to understand his demands. The scream of relief the 39-year-old let out as Rasmus Hojlund scored the first of his two goals to level the contest at half-time underlined the strain Amorim is under. The Portuguese has moved clubs - a third of the way through the season - with a determination to implement a wing-back formation, that United have no recent history of using. And…

Man Utd ‘Not Ready’ For Fulham – Ten Hag

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is concerned his team are “not ready” for Friday’s Premier League opener against Fulham (20:00 BST). New signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui will be in the squad but only arrived on Thursday. They have had a limited chance to train with their new team-mates, leaving Ten Hag with a selection dilemma for the match at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, defender Luke Shaw has been sidelined with a calf injury, new £52m defender Leny Yoro was ruled out for three months at the beginning of August, and forward Rasmus Hojlund has a hamstring problem.…

Man Utd Set To Confirm Dan Ashworth As Sporting Director

wontumionlineSports,
Manchester United are close to confirming Dan Ashworth is clear to start work as their new sporting director. Ashworth, 53, has been on gardening leave since February after telling Newcastle United he wanted to join the revamped set-up under Ineos at Old Trafford. The former Football Association and Brighton technical director had been set to take Newcastle to arbitration in an effort to resolve the impasse over the move. But it is understood talks between the clubs led to an out-of-court settlement being agreed late last week that leaves Ashworth free to take up his new role with immediate effect. In an…

Ten Hag’s Wait For Man Utd Decision Enters Third Week

wontumionlineSports,
It is more than two weeks since Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United beat Manchester City in an FA Cup final billed as potentially his last game. United chiefs launched a review into the club’s season following that surprise win over rivals City, yet there is still no decision about the Dutchman’s future. The build-up to the game was dominated by talk of manager Ten Hag’s chances of keeping his job. Some went so far as to state that Ten Hag would be sacked no matter what the outcome at Wembley, saying the Dutchman would pay the price for a terrible…

Antony Now Has To Wait For His Chance- Man United Manager Erik Ten Hag

wontumionlineSports,
Erik ten Hag has described Antony as ‘unstoppable’ as he leapt to the defence of the Manchester United star. The Brazilian winger has endured a torrid time since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022, failing to live up to the £86million price tag that was paid to Ajax. Scoring just eight goals in his first season, the hope was that Antony would kick on this term but instead he’s managed just one goal and one assist in 26 games for the Red Devils – neither of which have come in the Premier League. As a result, talkSPORT…

Man United Have A Lot To Play For – Ten Hag

wontumionlineSports,
Erik ten Hag admitted Manchester United “should have done better” in the Champions League this season, but said their early exit from Europe doesn’t mean their campaign is effec­tively over. United’s 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, combined with FC Copenhagen’s 1-0 win over Galatasaray, saw Ten Hag’s team exit European competition altogeth­er after finishing bottom of Group A. The Dutchman said afterwards, his team still have plenty to play for, despite their exit from the Carabao Cup and sitting sixth in the Premier League table. “The facts are we do not have enough points,” said Ten Hag. “We are disappointed…

Cristiano Ronaldo: 20 Years On From Portugal Star’s Man United Debut

wontumionlineSports,
Cristiano Ronaldo’s first forward surge as a Premier League player was not a memorable one. The 18-year-old winger had been introduced for Nicky Butt as a 61st-minute substitute in Manchester United’s season opener against Bolton at Old Trafford on 16 August 2003. About 60 seconds later, Ronaldo took the ball close to the touchline just inside his own half, near the dugouts, and stepped inside Bolton defender Nicky Hunt, who was only 19 himself and making his top-flight debut. Ronaldo had three touches with his right foot before Hunt slid in and took the ball away from the young Portuguese.…

Chelsea Reject Man Utd’s £40m Bid For England Midfielder Mason Mount

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester United have had a £40m bid for Chelsea’s Mason Mount turned down. United manager Erik ten Hag has identified Mount, 24, as someone who can bolster his attacking options.\ However, given the England international has only a year left on his contract, United do not feel Chelsea’s £70m valuation is realistic. The Old Trafford outfit are likely to make another offer for the attacking midfielder but are mindful of their overall transfer budget this summer. For the same reason, it is felt to be highly unlikely that United will sign England striker Harry Kane, 29, from Tottenham for £100m.…
